Microscope * Introduction- * "Micro" refers to tiny, "scope" refers to view or look at.

* Microscopes are tools used to enlarge images of small objects so as they can be studied.

* Since its invention, the microscope has been a valuable tool in the development of scientific theory.

* The generally used microscope is compound light microscope which is containing two lenses, which magnifies, and a variety of knobs to resolve (focus) the picture. Because it uses more than one lens, it is sometimes called the compound microscope in addition to being referred to as being a light microscope.

* History-

* The first

    Both compound and dissecting microscopes use a magnifying tube over the sample and a light source under the sample that allow you to see the object closely and clearly. The magnifying tube on both can be rotated to increase the magnifying power (giving a closer view). Both types are relatively similar in size and can be picked up, moved and set on different flat surfaces easily. Compound and dissecting microscopes have many similar parts, including a lens, stage, focus knob and coaxial controls that allow you to adjust the distance between the lens and the stage.…

    Likewise, Crook is isolated by his skin color because he is black while the other people on the ranch are white. He has to live by himself in the barn and is not allowed in the bunkhouse with the rest of the other people. He is also not allowed to play cards with the others because of his skin color and also because they think he stinks. He has to go into his room when it gets dark and all he can do is read he can’t do anything else because he doesn't have anyone that lives with him. While everyone else can go into the bunkhouse and talk or play cards. He gets mad when people come into his room because he is not allowed in the bunkhouse so he thinks it is fair if they are not in his room and he also wants his own privacy. In Mice and men…

    The purpose of a microscope is to see either enlarge images of small objects and or make seen what is invisible to the naked eye. We have two types of microscopes available in the lab. The dissecting microscope is designed to study objects in three dimensions at low magnification. The compound microscope is used for examining small or thinly sliced sections of objects under magnification that is higher than the dissecting microscope. In this lab we will learn proper use and handling of a microscope.…

    Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek

    Anthony van Leeuwenhoek was unlike most of those students who attended a university. He never learned Latin, nor attended a university. At age 16, his stepfather passed away and his mother decided it was time for Antonie to learn a trade. He secured an apprenticeship with a Scottish cloth merchant in Amsterdam as a bookkeeper and casher. Because of his involvement with textile merchants he worked with primitive microscopes. These simple scopes only had a magnifying power of three times and sparked Anthony to create a much more powerful lens’ which would make objects 200 times larger. Leeuwenhoek was also inspired to study microscopy by Robert Hooke’s illustrated book, Micrographia.…

    The main part of the activity is identifying the microscope’s calibration. We will be able to perform such by first determining the ocular micrometer constant from the stage micrometer and ocular micrometer. By determining the ocular micrometer constant, the objective lens constant can be known from the product of the ocular micrometer constant and the eyepiece magnification. The magnification of the illustration can be derived using the monocot root slide. Finally, when these constants are obtained, the magnification of the drawing is obtained.…

    Once upon a time our eyes were the only way for us to see the world. But increasingly sophisticated instruments developed by physicists have allowed us a window onto sights that our ancestors would never have dreamt of. Microscopes have exposed the inner workings of our cells, making modern medicine possible. Just think of what science would be like now without our modern microscopes! Our electron microscopes now days can even zoom in to the level of individual molecules and atoms, and revolutionary imaging techniques like MRI machines or X-ray machines allow doctors to spy on brain activity or broken bones, fixing problems that only a few years ago would have killed people.…
